Phan Nguyen Barker was born in Vietnam during the dissolution of French Indochina, as the country was being divided into the North, governed by communist rebels, and the South, governed by a former emperor. Woven into the backdrop of the Vietnam War, this exhibition is the poignant visual narrative of a young girl's journey from her village home in North Vietnam, to the South, and finally to America.

Featuring works on paper and sculpture, Impermanence, our retrospective on the works of Shingo Honda (continues).
